Stand-Out Resumes
Stand-out resumes are crucial for anyone seeking opportunities but especially for professionals in communications fields. Learn core resume features and functions on your way to developing a resume that will advance your career.
Developing Your Portfolio
Having a professional portfolio to showcase your work to a potential employer is a key part of career success for communicators. Learn how to identify portfolio items – even if you haven’t yet worked professionally – and how to develop, display, and share your portfolio.
Interviewing in a Virtual Environment
Interviewing virtually or remotely adds another layer of complexity – and stress – to the already-daunting job search. Learn how to successfully communicate your skills and experience in our virtual world, which employers say will persist long after the pandemic.
